5sfte with auto tranny - 6G Celicas Forums

6th Generation Celica › Engine/Transmission/Maintenance
Thinking Solara -- reasoning being that if the A541E can handle the V6 it should be able to handle a turbo-charged 5S. Though perhaps not one as well-tweaked as Manny's. The later versions of the 1MZF...

Hmmm...didn't Solaras use an auto transmission as well? That should work, assuming an auto was available on the same engines as used an E153.

Roughly, think of a rail as a circuit in your house. A circuit can only handle so much current, so you can only plug so many lamps, appliances, etc into one -- this is why using power bars to hook a c...

35A isn't bad for a 12V rail, if it's a multi-rail system. Cheaper to make, and not an issue if you're running components whose individual draws aren't that great.
That said, I like my EliteXStream wi...

Being able to handle a lot of watts doesn't mean it handles it well. Just like a car, stuffing a big engine with high horsepower doesn't mean it translates to a good car at the track. A speaker might ...

The reason a 7AFE to 5SFE swap is not listed in that thread is because people don't do it. You're spending almost as much as you would for a 3SGTE in labour and fabrication (both use an S block compar...

I used ScotchGard upholstery cleaner shortly after I purchased my car from a smoker, worked great; smoke and pop stains both removed.

Why not find a set in a junkyard? Fenders are fairly easy to inspect to ensure they aren't damaged to any significant degree.

You had an underbody cat on your stock exhaust? That's very odd for a 5SFE Celica from outside California.
Are you sure it's not the stock resonator?

Gutted cats create turbulence in the exhaust stream and therefore diminish exhaust flow -- making your exhaust system and therefore your engine less efficient. Unless your cat is clogged by years of p...
